MrRelentlessUK Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hi all just after some info on connecting to a dedicated server that's 350km away from me which looks like somewhere in either Denmark or Germany, now i have strict mode on and if i bring the filter distance from europe to just the UK with a very short filter distance, i then ping to America host, is this because that not connecting to euro server so will just auto ping to America? i just wanted to be able to connect to the shorted distance host closer then the 350km away one if possible? id be greatful if someone can help with this thanks.

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted March 21, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted March 21, 2015 Do you mean autoping is pinging the american host? You could move your home location if you want to be able to avoid the dedicated server. I'm not sure I fully understood our question though and what you wanted to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRelentlessUK Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 I have auto ping on, everytime i jump in to a game of aw it automatically pings to this dedicated server that is 350km away sometimes outside the filter, i have brought my filter in say 229km so it wont ping beyond the UK and it then started to say the host was 7700km away, ran a trace and was in America this keeps happening, i am on the latest software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted March 21, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted March 21, 2015 Ok. please can you check that the button under the service says "Disable" and not "Enable"? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRelentlessUK Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 yes that is what it says under service disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted March 21, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted March 21, 2015 Ok, so is this a server you are connecting to in a game which is outside of your GeoFilter range? Try going to Settings >> Miscellaneous and clicking apply under cloud settings. (I think I saw somewhere that it can fix problems like this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincho31 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hi Shakermaker, what's your ping assist value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted March 21, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted March 21, 2015 Just been in chat with Shakermaker and seam to have solved the problem. The issue was: -Searching for a game would connect him to hosts way outside of his GeoFilter range. The GeoFilter appeared to be doing nothing. It defiantly wasn't ping assist because it was the normal symbol. It was a server that he kept connecting to (ID: c1a81de84560383d if it matters). Things that we attempted and didn't work: -Tried applying cloud settings again. -Disabled auto-cloud and went back a few cloud versions. -Disabling then re-enabling the device on the GeoFilter. Solution: Like a bad scientist, I did two things on his router, either roof which could have fixed the issue. -1) Disabled Bleeding edge cloud -2) Restarted the router. I think its probably the router restart that fixed the issue in this case (restarts usually fix things like this ) Also: The issue then happened again afterwards with an EU server, he was connecting to one 80km outside of his range (not a lot). This was because of the anti cheat feature. Looks like it is all sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRelentlessUK Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 would like to thank Crossy for all his help and learnt a few things from him as well, i am pinging to a local host say around 78km away from me when i start a game on AW, as i get in to the game it then jumps from that host then pings to America maybe to a dedicated server over 7700km, or to europe one that is 450km away from me, anyone know why it jumps from a local to this?

You need to stop focusing on the distance / server location. Servers can be mislocated which will skew the results. What is your ping assist set to and the ping of the servers you are getting in to?

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted March 22, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted March 22, 2015 The one in the US you were connecting to is misslocated, you were pinging 20ms to it. I have put that server int the correction thread in "The Coal Mine". Just to check, are the issues that you were having before happening again now? - BTW guys, when he was having the issue before, it definitely wasn't PA, could be now though The reason it pings a different server is because you have auto ping on, but I assume this isn't what you meant. Is the GeoFilter allowing you to connect hosts that are outside of its range again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRelentlessUK Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Thanks for the replay guys, just been doing some more testing the dedicated server in the US i keep connecting to is miss located like u say Crossy cause the ping can not be around 25ms and the same applies to the euro dedi as well, this is frustrating but also notice that im getting alot of nuke symbols that are far away from me that are connecting fro outside the geo filter Buds/Benormous/Vincho31- i have been playing around with my ping assist it is at 25ms atm i get kicked a fair amount but do get games, i have raised it as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted March 22, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted March 22, 2015 Even if it is mislocated, you still shouldn't be connecting to it if it outside of your GeoFilter. Is it doing what it was doing last time or is it ping assist that is connecting you to it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRelentlessUK Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Yeah some reason still doing the same but not sure if it's ping assist that's doing it? the ping graph sometimes cannot display the ping don't know why it comes up then disappears and then comes back and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted March 22, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted March 22, 2015 If it disappears then comes back that is just the Autping switching the server it is pinging to or something like that. You will know if it is ping assist because it will look like a nuke symbol. You can see what all the symbols mean here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRelentlessUK Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Ok cool, yes for the dedi server it's always the sparkly symbol that i keep getting connected to and i have the nuke symbols as well which are both out of the geo filter range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can unrated by clicking it, brining it down to 0% then clicking update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRelentlessUK Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Sorry Cross i got that wrong, it's a bigger version on the nuke symbol. it start's a small nuke and then get larger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
